Capo 5th fret
[Intro]
N.C.
Love's gonna get you killed
But pride’s gonna be the death of you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me
And you and you and you and me and
[Chorus 1]
GEm9AF#m7F#7
Me, I wasn't taught to share
GEm9AF#m7F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
GEm9AA#dim
Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7Em6C#m7F#m7F#7
But care, I care, I care
[Verse 1]
GEm9
Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldly possessions
AF#m7F#7
Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
GEm9
The better part, the human heart, you love ’em or dissect 'em
AF#m7F#7
Happiness or flashiness, how do you serve the question?
GEm9
See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
AA#dim
I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
Bm7Em6
I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
C#m7F#m7F#7
I put my faith in these lyrics hoping I make amend, I understand
[Verse 2]
GEm9
I ain't perfect, I probably won't come around
AF#m7
This time I might put you down, last time I ain't give a fuck
F#7GEm9
I still feel the same now, my feelings might go numb
AF#m7F#G
You're dealing with cold thumb, I’m willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
Em9AA#dim
Pity parties and functions and you and yours, a perfect world, you probably live another 24
Bm7Em6
I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
C#m7F#m7F#7
I can’t fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
[Chorus 2]
GEm9AF#m7F#7
Me, I wasn't taught to share
GEm9AF#m7F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
GEm9AA#dim
Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7 Em6 N.C.
But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
GEm9A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7F#7GEm9A
Maybe I wasn’t there
F#m7F#7GEm9A
Maybe I wasn’t there
A#dimBmEm6C#m7F#m7F#7
Maybe I wasn’t
[Verse 3]
GEm9
Now in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
AF#m7F#7
Cold as December but never remember what winter did
GEm9
I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
AF#m7F#7
Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
GEm9
Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
AA#dim
Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
Bm7Em6
I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
C#m7F#m7F#7
The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
[Verse 4]
GEm9
Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
AF#m7F#7
A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
GEm9
Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
AF#m7F#7
Race barriers make inferior of you and I
GEm9
See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
AA#dim
I'll choose work over bitches, I'll make schools out of prison
Bm7Em6
I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
C#m7F#m7F#7
Just to tell 'em we ain't shit, but He's been perfect, world
[Chorus 3]
GEm9AF#m7F#7
Me, I wasn't taught to share
GEm9AF#m7F#7
But care, in another life, I surely was there
GEm9AA#dim
Me, I wasn't taught to share
Bm7Em6C#m7F#m7F#7
But care, I care, I care
[Refrain]
GEm9A
Maybe I wasn’t there
